....shite.
Thought I'd get used to it. It's like when your PC goes wobbly and displayed a hotch-potch web page as text-only with the odd graphic thrown-in. |

Agreed, A triumphant improvement (they are sure to claim) by the BBC (except for those that want to use it).
I think they practiced by upgrading/knackering the Radio Times site (though, under orders from the OFT, they're flogging that off so I doubt they care). |

Isn't it like that because everyone uses phones/tablets to view the internet now?
Except sensible people like me.  |

When you say changes to the BBC site, are you referring to the fact that Robbie Savage seems to be their main man and/or the user-unfriendly feel to it?
Either way, it's gone all gash on us!

Perhaps it's because they moved the web development team from Shepherds Bush to some peripherally insignificant town elsewhere in these isles.

I missed the Live Videprinter. But then searching for it, I found it. If they intended keeping it, why hide it  |

In view of their Welsh bias, I assume we're talking the site's new home is in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
(1012 in scrabble by the way!)

Bloody horrible!
You can't get even the most basic information from it now.
The old site was far superior. |

Perhaps clean air, a decent standard of living and a reduced chance of being stabbed stems the creative juices.
Unless they've gone to Manchester when the opposite applies.
